Higher education planning models are characterized by custom time periods for academic calendars with its unusual revenue recognition patterns plus complex activity drivers with modeled interactions across a multiple year planning horizon, typically five years or more. Drivers include students and cohorts, retention rates, student/faculty ratios and a myriad of other factors spread across many faculties, programs and schools.
Alight Planning routinely handles academic calendars and deferred revenues with its flexible time period setup. In addition, the unique modeling required for student and cohort drivers, retention rates and the like are easily implemented with Alight's unit/rate/amount architecture and object based linking.
